1. Organizational Plan The classroom’s This is effective because There is nothing I

organizational plan is
flexible
2. Schedule The time for activities and
lessons is always allotted
properly because there is
no undertime or overtime
3. Record Keeping The records such as
attendance, quizzes,
written outputs, etc are
properly monitored and
consolidated
the instruction is both
carried individually and
by group depending on the
nature of the lesson or
activity
This is favorable because
the time allotment is not
exhausting and as the
same time, the students
learn enough for the
particular schedule of the
day
The record keeping is very
organized
could recommend
regarding this
because the teacher
has a well-
established
organizational plan
There is nothing I
could recommend
because the teacher
could always utilize
the time properly
There is nothing I
could recommend
because the teacher
is well-organized

4. Physical Environment The classroom is quite
dark
5. Discipline The approach of the
teacher in disciplining is
appropriate for the types of
learners she is handling
The lighting of the room I recommend to
may affect the students’ have a proper
learning especially those lighting in the
who do not have clear classroom so that it
eyesight would be conducive
for learning
The way of disciplining is There is nothing I
effective because the could recommend
teacher does not need to because most of the
shout just to discipline her students are
students respectful and
disciplined

6. Routines The routinary activities are The routinary activities I recommend to

common such as prayer, are effective because sometimes have an
checking the attendance those create a signal that energizer before the
and assignments if there the class has already lesson begins

 Answer the following:

a. In what area of classroom Management was the teacher most effective? Which of the supportive
measures were effective? Why?

The area of classroom management the teacher was most effective is in the organizational
plan because hers is very flexible and works well even the instruction is given individually or
by group. The supportive measures in which the teacher is most effective is in the way of
making her students answer during recitation in which the teacher would call a random
student which gives opportunity to everyone to participate during discussion and this is
actually effective because most of the students are participative during discussion.

b. In what area of classroom Management was the teacher least effective? Which of the supportive
measures were not effective? Why?

I cannot say that she is least effective in the routines because the routinary activities are
effective because those create a signal that the class has already started .Rather, it is much
better to say that the teacher must add some energizer before the class starts so that there is a
greater assurance that the students’ attention were caught.

c. Suggest more effective ways for your answer in number 2.

The teacher may start with some energizer like games, yell or a song that would uplift the
mood of the students and would lessen their tardiness in the class. These samples of
energizers can be employed inside the classroom so that the teacher may assure that the
students will be attentive in class, will not be sleepy or will not appear to be lazy in
performing tasks for the day in her subject.
